What is LifeComp
LifeComp is the European framework for the key competence «Personal, social and learning to learn», published in 2020 by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission. It defines 9 competences organised into 3 areas — Personal, Social and Learning to Learn — with 27 descriptors that outline the observable learning outcomes.
